MRK maintains a managed data center in central Pennsylvania with redundant power, and connections to the Internet. This data center is duplicated at a second location and both are fully manned 24/7.

The concept is to have your critical applications hosted at the MRK facility and to connect to them via secure remote desktop connections, said RBS Bill Harnett.
